Well, I guess I don't need to come up with a name anymore. One thing checked off the list.
If there were ever a sticker to keep, that would be the one.

As y’all know I moved my FJ40 on to another keeper via Bring a Trailer.
If you were following the auction it went from $24,000 to $40,000 in one bid early in the process.
The clown that did that was a friend I’ve had for years from Texas. When he got outbid in the last day I reminded him that his brother has a nice FJ55 wasting away in Minnesota under a cover.

So Mantis struck a deal with his brother. I sent him @jmlockwood ’s shipper and it was on like donkey Kong.
The driver shows up and can’t drive a stick shift.
No joke.
Then he tries to extort cash out of his brother. Says the roof rack will hit bridges.
We punt

Don’t forget the part of the story where my wife had forbidden me from ever buying another non-restored Cruiser due to all the issues I ran into after attempting to "fix" the FJ40 I bought, so wngrog came up with the grand idea of having it shipped to him and giving it the once over (or twice or thrice) to get it in proper shape before I brought it home.

I’ve made an exception to rule #1 at Tilda Bogue Service station for you
Rule 1 : Don’t deal with anyone that has to ask his wife first.....

It was more difficult telling her I was buying the 55 than it was telling her I bid $40k on Patina.

I'm in!
I can't get over the shipper not driving a stick! How many times does he have to turn down work because of that? 
Good thing you bought the 55 over that rust bucket 40, saved yourself $35,000.
It is at wngrog’s house... I’ll be lucky to end up even moneyGood thing you bought the 55 over that rust bucket 40, saved yourself $35,000.
Heading to Mississippi at noon, so pulling some stuff out of the shop that might come in useful for the Limo (gratuitous poseur shot).

The shipper does a great job filling the gap on the non stick driving extortion guy and boom. There it is.

Project Patina is sitting in the field thinking she’s going to be headed north and of course I jump in the Pig and see how it drives.
I read about 25% of the stuff Mantis sends me but I remember it runs.
I just forgot the part that it did not stop.
Mid rooster tail in second gear I decide to slow down before I hit the big tree I was aimed at and my foot went to the floor.

Was about to say, $5,000 for a completely restored pig is a lot less than $40,000 for a nice 40.Good thing you bought the 55 over that rust bucket 40, saved yourself $35,000.
